U.S. lend-lease supplies for Russia. Edward R. Stettinius, Jr. (right), now U.S. Under Secretary of State, inspects heavy equipment being loaded aboard a Russian ship at an American port while two Soviet Marines look on. The equipment, transferred to Russia under lend-lease arrangements, will be used by the Red Army in the campaign against the Germans on the Eastern Front. The picture was taken when Mr. Stettinius, then U.S. Leand-Lease Administrator, visited the port to inspect the handling of U.S. lend-lease supplies for Russia.
